Welcome, you spiderish person you!
There are no technical reasons preventing a port of AmigaOS to New World Macs, and if one would like an AmigaOS PPC laptop, there aren't all that many options but PowerBooks... There is no more custom Amiga hardware, so excluding the most common and cheapest consumer PPC platform doesn't make sense IMO.
This is not allowed to happen though. AmigaOS will not be sold separate from hardware, and hardware allowed to run AmigaOS will only be available from "special" licensed distributors. The only "new" such hardware are Teron motherboards, but only after they have been renamed and only when they are distributed by a company called Eyetech. An added "dongle" in the shape of extra code in a ROM on the renamed Terons will guarantee that you can't buy a Teron from anyone but Eyetech.

My first continuous encounter with computers was the Amiga 1000 and I have fond memories of that wonderful machine back in 85.
You lucky sod!
At that time I used my C-64 to draw pics with Koala paint of the Dream Machine that I could never afford.
